The holiday season is even further in our rearview, and that means more fall shows are making their way back to the broadcast schedule. This week we get midseason premieres for The Flash, Supernatural, Arrow and more. Plus, season finales for American Horror Story, Galavant and Resurrection, a Venture Bros. special, and Billy Dee Williams returns as Lando Calrissian.

Check out the week in TV below. What's on your watchlist?

Highlights of the Week

Star Wars Rebels (Disney XD) Monday, 9 p.m. - "Idiot's Array"

Billy Dee Williams alert! - If you're a fan of Disney's first animated foray into the Star Wars universe, times are good for you. The show's doing well, a second season's already on the way, and perhaps best of all, classic Star Wars cast members have begun returning to reprise their roles. We've already heard Frank Oz voicing Yoda, and this week we get another fan-favorite supporting actor in the form of Billy Dee Williams. That's right, Lando's back, and we get to see what his was up to in the years before The Empire Strikes Back. Check out a preview below.

One-hour special! - At this point, we haven't seen a new episode of The Venture Bros. in a year and a half, and though we heard some time ago that season six would arrive by early 2015, that doesn't seem to be the case. The last time we had to wait for a new season of the show, the wait was more than three years, and while we probably shouldn't start dwelling on a repeat of that particular scenario this time around, we still have to accept that the wait is long, and that it'll be longer before a new season hits. Just as they did in the interim between seasons four and five, though, creators Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick have decided to make the wait a little easier with a brand-new one-hour special, which will hit at midnight EST Tuesday (to be clear, that's the midnight between Monday and Tuesday, not Tuesday and Wednesday). Check out a preview below.

Supernatural (CW) Tuesday, 9 p.m. - "The Hunter Games"

Midseason premiere! - This month, The CW announced a long list renewals for basically all of its fall series, which means that Supernatural, the network's veteran drama, will be back for an eleventh season. Network President Mark Pedowitz has said in the past that, as long as the show's ratings hold up, Supernatural can stick around for as long as he's running The CW, and he seems to be keeping that promise. We've talked before about how the show's success has been so enduring that ratings in recent seasons have actually gone up, and season 10 continues to reflect that. The show has dropped below 2 million Live+Same Day viewers only once in season 10 so far, and the midseason finale topped the number of viewers from the same point in season 9. So, basically, if you're still into this show, you're in luck. This week, Sam and Dean work even harder to cure the Mark of Cain, Rowena plots against Crowley, and Castiel tries to mend his relationship with Claire. Check out a preview below.

Arrow (CW) Wednesday, 8 p.m. - "Left Behind"

Midseason premiere! - The CW's having a pretty great year, and a lot of that is thanks to the strength of its two superhero series. We're in the midst of a wave of superhero dramas hitting nearly all of the broadcast networks, and while there are plenty of factors driving that wave, Arrow is inarguably one of them. By its second season, the show was unabashedly introducing comic-book character after comic-book character, season three is no different, and the viewers just keep coming back. So far Arrow's not only sparked other superhero drama development, but also given us the very fun spinoff The Flash, and now we've heard that an Atom spinoff could be on the way too, with even more possible beyond that. The Arrowverse is fertile ground right now, and the flagship show is going strong. This week, the team tries to protect Starling City without Oliver, Ray tests out his new suit, and Laurel takes on the Black Canary mantle. Check out a preview below.

Constantine (NBC) Friday, 8 p.m. - "Quid Pro Quo"

We've talked a lot in the past couple of months about the uncertain future of Constantine, the campaign to save it, and the odds of the show actually getting a shot at season two. We still don't have many answers, but we did get a bit more clarity thanks to discussions at this month's Television Critics Association press tour. NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke noted that, while the show has a "big viewership" after its Live+Same Day broadcast (DVR, Hulu and the like), the live numbers are still a concern for the network, though they're "still talking about" keeping Constantine around. Despite that kind of uncertainty, though, there's still plenty of optimism about the series, and co-star Charles Halford recently told us he "firmly" believes there's "more to come." This week, thousands of people slip into a coma, including Chas' daughter, and only John can stop the evil force at the heart of it. Check out a preview below.
